    Dare to dream: My Christmas wish list

    Indeed, I’ve kept up this tradition of posting my Christmas wish list every year since I started this blog. But as I’ve grown older, wiser, and busier, I try to drop any unnecessary tasks from my life that seem like a chore. So when writing this blog entry began to feel like a chore in…

    Dare-to-dream Christmas wish list

    I hesitated to write my foodie Christmas wish list this year as I have in years past – partly out of laziness, partly because I aim to do everything in moderation these days. And if I were to knock all of the items below off my list, I’d be a glutton. However – and this…

    Dare to dream: My Christmas wish list

      I do this every year, but coming up with my Christmas wish list was inordinately harder this time. In a matter of mere weeks, we’ll be welcoming our second baby and most of my shopping lists have centred on baby-related products. That said, I wouldn’t scoff at a gift certificate to my favourite gourmet…

    Preparing my Christmas wish list has been inordinately easier than in past years because I’ve been keeping track on Pinterest and Etsy.

    Dare to Dream: My Christmas wish list

      The older I get, the harder it becomes to make a wish list. Am I the only one? Namely because if I want something, I buy it. And if something is beyond my reach, I usually put it out of my head. Still, there are some things that I still dream about, because to purchase them…

    My Christmas wish list

    One year ago at this time, I was a busy working woman who planned outings to luxury hotels for afternoon tea, regularly attended baking and cooking classes, and planned my meals on a week-to-week basis.These days, I consider myself to be more of a human pacifier who plans one-handed meals that can be eaten without…

    Dare I dream? My Christmas wish list

    If money was no object, if time was limitless, if I had my own butler to cater to my every whim, my Christmas wish list would look something like this. But one can dream. Should any of you deign to cross any of the following off my list, however, don’t let me stop you.  …

    Cookbook Review: The Gourmet Cookie Book

        I’ll cut to the chase. This is hands down, the best baking cookbook for 2010. And I’ve been through at least a couple of dozen of the latest and greatest just in the past year. Despite all the cookie collections that have recently hit bookshelves, “The Gourmet Cookie Book”   (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) is not…

    Cookbook Review: Around My French Table

      I’m going to cut to the chase here. Dorie Greenspan’s “Around My French Table” is my favourite new cookbook. In fact, with just a couple of months to go until the end of the year, I am going to be so bold as to say this is potentially the best cookbook of 2010. I first came across…

    Colossal Cupcake Creation

      Cast your mind back and you may remember I wished for a giant cupcake on my Christmas wish list. I hoped someone would pick up on my heavy-handed hint and order it for my birthday, but I wasn’t holding my breath. Well, you can imagine how thrilled I was when one of my besties…
